6. Orient the SO DIMM module such that the corner cutout on its
pin-connector edge aligns with the matching corner bulge of the
socket receptacle. This may result in the DRAM chips being on the
top or bottom surface depending on the orientation of the memory
bank sockets and the placement of the chips on the module.
The SO DIMM modules and sockets are physically keyed to each
other such that a module will fit into a socket only one way. Each SO
DIMM module has a small, rounded cutout on one corner of its
pin-connector edge. Each SO DIMM socket has a small, rounded
bulge on one of its receptacle corners. The two parts fit into each other
like a key. If the parts are not properly oriented in relationship to each
other, you cannot insert the module into the socket.
7. The first SO DIMM module must be inserted into the lower socket of
the memory bank. Slide the SO DIMM module at a slightly
downward angle between the upper and lower retaining clips
directing its pin-connectors into the lower socket.
8. Once the pin-connectors have made contact with the socket, gently
press along the entire edge of the SO DIMM module to firmly seat the
module into the socket. At the same time, the outside edge of the SO
DIMM module should be tilted slightly downward such that the
retainer clips of the socket engage the matching retainer cutout slots
on the module's top and bottom edges.
9. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for the second SO DIMM module.
10.The second SO DIMM module must be inserted into the upper socket
of the memory bank. Slide the SO DIMM module at a slightly
downward angle above the upper retaining clips directing its
pin-connectors into the upper socket.
11. Repeat step 8 for the second SO DIMM module.
12.Replace the sheet-metal cover such that the bent edges on the sides
are down and the bar-coded serial number label is on the edge away
from you.
13.With the #0 Phillips screwdriver, replace the eight (8) Phillips-head
screws holding the sheet-metal cover to the chassis. Tighten the
screws gently being careful not to strip the threads.
The installation of the memory upgrade is now complete. When power is
next applied to the HP VXI Pentium controller, the system BIOS will
automatically detect and configure the new memory.
